First Video of 2014! Tasting 2013 From the Barrel!

Here I am at the winery this morning, tasting through the 2013 vintage for the first time with any sense of formality.

When does a wine not need a table, delicious things and two people in love? When a winemaker, or a consumer or trade member, really wants to intellectualize a wine, really understand and study it.

Studying a book in class is different than studying it in a solitary sense. It's important for me to understand my wines at table, with fun people, but also in silence with the only context the cellar, vintage and a quiet room.
